As badly as they were treated when they came back from their war, it is heartwarming to know that they will still support the soldiers fighting in this war! I am glad they are there for these poor families!

Actually, I recall my brother and cousin being drafted for Vietnam
and they served 18 month "tours". They were actually in the army longer, but were in Vietnam for 18 months when they were drafted. I'm sure they would have rather not done that extra 6 months!
My father, his brother, and their contemporaries in World War II, however, were drafted for "the duration". They weren't coming home until the war was over. My dad said it was one heck of an incentive to fight hard. It makes me cry to think of my gentle, kind father in that situation.
vets
I have asked many a vets over the years if they disclose to the owner what exactly is entailed in the procedure, and they all have responded no they do not, so what does that say about vets! "First do no harm", guess that excludes them. Can you imagine going in for a mastectomy and them not telling you what it entails, I think not, big money maker for them.
I think I would consider changing vets, too-sm
after this, as it is not wise to give a cat just dry food. They need the wet food to keep from getting dehydrated. Dry food does not contain everything they need to maintain good health as they have mostly grain and no true meat products. Check with other vets. This one sounds a little too pushy and has a large ego. JMO
my mother's vets have always
done it for free, but I've never had one that did. Going rate around here is about 75 unless you want cremation or disposal. The vet that came to my house only charged 75 and took my baby with him. He was a mobile vet and pays no overhead for rent. Such a great service as taking a cat to the vet is such a stressful experience and I did not want it to be his last.
Vets here favor Frontline Plus
I think it's because of our warm climate meaning we have more of one or the other to deal with. I can't remember which way it is, but each vet we've been to here has preferred Frontline Plus. I'd ask your vet.
my vet told me and other vets have confirmed
that dying cats purr and even cats in a lot of pain will purr. Really devastated me at one time when I was trying to convince myself my cat was not in pain. Cats are also sometimes very stoic and it makes it very difficult to discern how much pain they are in.
All the vets I ever worked with had their cats declawed.
